Hey All

Welcome to the May Bus!

This is our second month of trying.

Good luck to everyone.

@EllieJai44 certainly seems like it could be impartation bleeding. Fingers crossed! 🤞

@sachaf08 congratulations! Be very glad you missed out on the dreaded TTC/TWW it's torture 😂

@SmileyT I wish I'd written things down last time. I remember thinking I wouldn't need to as I was so happy and excited I'd definitely remember and obviously that's definitely not the case 😂. Honestly don't let that discourage you, the symptoms of pregnancy are basically the exact same as PMT. Our bodies lovely way of tricking us!

I've been for a lush 5 mile walk with the dog in the sunshine and I'm now gonna have a nice bath and a chilled out night. I'm working tomorrow which is a blag but hopefully it'll still be nice and I can work from my garden!

@Noble89 I hope so its so odd, ive had no more all day, I think im still gonna test at 10dpo if no more bleeding
How many dpo are you now?

@sachaf08 when you go for your 12 week scan they will probably date you but as you will be so early will probably book you in for another scan a couple weeks later to confirm the babies growth. If you really want to know now I'd go for an early scan, the clinics around me have reopened (not sure if that is the same everywhere). Definitely come back and let me know how you get on x

@EllieJai44 ahh could definitely be an IB if it didn't continue, I've never had one so can't give you any practical advice on what it should/ shouldn't be though. Keep positive because our bodies do like to confuse us but hopefully it is good news.

@Noble89 that sounds like a lush day and nice bath and chilled night will be perfect. At least with a bit of work tomorrow you can hopefully pass another 24hrs of the dreaded TWW. I've done a workout and 2 meditations today but it is starting to get to me. I was so determined not to be negative but it's trying to creep in 😩

@EllieJai44 5DPO for me and will be testing at 10DPO on Thursday. I'd like to wait longer but I know I won't 😂.

@SmileyT that's a good way to look at it. I'm just wishing the days away. I totally get it, it's sooooo hard not knowing. I think the biggest thing is wanting to be put out of your misery if you're not pregnant. Like waiting the longest two weeks in history just to be disappointed is awful. If it's not going to be my month I'd just like to know and deal with it asap so we can move on.

Hello, I hope you don’t mind me jumping in on this one but I’m currently in my first TTC cycle after having the Mirena removed and am currently 9DPO as far as I know. We only DTD on ovulation day as, to be honest, I didn’t really know how to start TTC! This TWW is driving me a bit insane so it would be nice to have people to talk to 😊

Hi everyone, so due to get married this year (October) but with everything happening we are most likely going to postpone. Therefore we’re considering trying for a baby as we don’t want to wait a year. Is anyone else out there doing the same?

Hi HattieHB, it wouldn't let me tag you for some reason, but I'm in the same boat, wedding 24/10 and starting to feel like postponing it will become inevitable. We were going to start TTC in September regardless but I just found out I'm pregnant this week (it's still very early and a big surprise). I'm a bit anxious about it happening far earlier than I thought it would but we, like you I suspect, didn't want to put our lives on hold indefinitely while we wait for everything to get back to normal! What date is your wedding? x

@HattieHB it's letting me do it now! See post above

@Noble89 thank you so much, yes I feel very lucky, was fully expecting to have to try for ages, can't actually believe it's happened! Obviously it's early days yet. I've been reading on here about your experiences, really hope you get some good news very soon, you certainly deserve it after what you've been through xx

@sachaf08 Oh my god- we’re wedding twins!!! We were hoping to start trying once we were married or slightly sooner but if we postpone until next year, I’ll be 32 and it just feels like such a long time away. I don’t want to compromise on our wedding day and I don’t want to wait to try?! 🤷‍♀️

@HattieHB I know exactly what you mean- I'm 29 now and I'm 30 on Nov 8th, was trying to sneak the wedding in before then, but think I'll miss that boat now!

My thinking is that if you do end up with a preg due date for next year in the next 6 months, at least you can then plan when you reschedule for to fit around it all somehow!? Although if they do allow weddings to happen in October, I'm now facing the prospect of being 6.5 months gone on my wedding day not ideal really but I guess we'll have to go with the flow. I know it's so hard waiting to try when you don't have any idea how long it will take as well, although based on my current situation I would say don't worry about that too much and start trying when you feel read (wedding aside). The other thing is wedding dresses.. no chance of a fitting at the moment so god only knows how that will all get sorted out! I'm trying to think about it too much atm as it's all making me feel a bit crazy!

Good morning ladies 🌸

I got my BFP this morning! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 So so happy 😁

Thank you for crossing your fingers for me @SmileyT @KRK05 @DKDK123 💕

Don’t know what to do with myself now!!

@Blossom93 congrats! Is this your first pregnancy?

Amazing @Blossom93 I'm so happy for you 🥳 what did your OH say? Was going to ask if you did anything different but if I'm remember correctly (sorry if I'm wrong there has been a lot of posts) but this is your first month ttc?

Next steps are try not to panic and enjoy every single day of this precious journey ❤️ 🤰 ❤️

Congratulations @Blossom93 so happy for you 🥳🥳🥳

Congratulations @Blossom93 😁

I purchased my tests today but am determined to wait until Friday morning which is a day after AF is due. It’s a two pack just in case I cave a few days before 😂

@Blossom93 ahhhh congratulations lovely! What fab news! How many DPO are you? I hope you've started a flood of BFPs over the next week or so!

@notyetamumbuttrying thank you! Yes it’s my first so very excited but scared too!

@SmileyT thank you! He’s really happy, he keeps kissing my stomach, it’s so cute 😹 yeah it’s my first month TTC, can’t believe it. I will do my best not to panic! 💕

@DKDK123 thank you!

@J0DI3 thank you! Good luck! I tested last week as I just couldn’t wait haha but it was way too early and it was negative but so happy to see those two lines today. Was so nervous to look at the test 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Noble89 thank you 😁 I think maybe 14 DPO. I hope so too!!!

Once we have a few BFPs we should start a Facebook group. You can make them completely secret and have to have a link to join so no one else on FB can see you've joined. We did it last time when I got my BFP and obviously it didn't end the way I wanted but it was sooooo good to stay up to date with everyone's progress and symptoms and scan photos etc.

Eeep I hope we're all joining @Blossom93 soon!

I've got lots to catch up with on the chat so I'm sorry girls 🙈 but I will have a read through 💜

@Blossom93 Ahhh so happy for u, congratulations lovely 🥰💕

@Noble89 I would love that! Would be nice to put faces to everyone too ☺️

Hey ladies,

I'm having really noticeable cramping today, it's quite uncomfortable. I'm 6DPO and I feel like my body is playing tricks on me or I'm hyper vigilant. I don't know why but my gut feeling is that I'm not pregnant but I feel like my body is trying to trick me!

I keep telling myself to not read into the symptoms and set myself up to be let down so I'm making thorough notes on my Flo app so if this isn't my month I'll know not to be confused by these symptoms next month as perhaps they're just normal for me but I'm noticing more as TTC makes you hyper vigilant and lock down means I've got nothing to take my mind off things.

Hope you're all having a nice Sunday!

@Noble89 I feel like at this stage it's so hard as we 2nd guess everything. I'm still trying to stay positive but honestly feel so bloody down about it (and it's only my first proper month) I'm so certain it's not going to happen and with every twinge I get I'm more annoyed at myself for getting my hopes up when I know I'm not pregnant. I'm actually tempted to take a test tomorrow just to prove it to myself and start preparing for next month.

Sorry that wasn't the positive reinforcement you need, I've got a good feeling about your symptoms it's just myself I don't trust 🙈 praying the next week goes quickly x

@SmileyT @Noble89 weird isn't it. I feel noticeable twinges today and have since yesterday. 8dpo today. Thing is, I've felt these before around this time and got all excited that it was implantation, but then went on to get my period so I don't know why this month would be any different?! Always the chance though so don't feel bad for thinking it.
